Outdoor clothing

Three jobs, three layers: the base layer moves moisture, the midlayer adds warmth and the outer layer blocks wind and rain. You do not need to wear all three throughout every walk.

Key points

  • Start cooler when moving and carry a warm layer for stops.
  • Water-repellent softshell does not replace a jacket in steady rain.
  • Try layers together: shoulders and knees must move freely.

Frequently asked questions

What is a midlayer?

The insulating layer between your base layer and weather protection, such as a fleece. Choose its thickness for the cold and your effort level.

Is softshell waterproof?

Not as a rule. Many softshells only repel water. For steady rain, waterproof construction and sealed seams matter.

Can I walk in cotton?

For a short, dry outing, yes. If you sweat heavily and then cool down, a quicker-drying technical fabric is more practical.

How do I care for technical clothing?

Follow the care label. Avoid fabric softener for membrane clothing and use the separate care instructions for fleece, down and waterproof layers.
